'''Research''' is a feature in Egg, Inc. which allows you to spend [[Bocks]] to upgrade some quality relating to your [[hatchery]], [[habitats]], [[vehicles]], or anything else on the farm. Most areas of research offer multiple levels, each one costing more than the previous. Note that research from other tiers compound their bonuses. An upgrade from Tier 1 adding 100% to your egg value plus an upgrade from Tier 2 adding 100% to your egg value will add 300% to your egg value. Since no upgrades in one tier do the same thing, this effectively means that all research will compound with each other.
